There's nothing like coming back to your own words a while later to make
you realize what a wining b-otch you sounded like when you said: (more below)

No, mostly because I'm not that good with makemaker.  When I wrote the
original I was hoping to inspire someone to Do The Right Thing.  But after
looking at the layout, I'm not sure what you gain -- you'll have to add the
Makemaker stuff to the autoconf files, so it's the same amount of changes.

But if you will accept a patch that modifies the makemaker stuff, I'll hack
one out over the next week or so, just so that we can stop getting the same
FAQ from everyone ;-)
